After the men entered the hunting garden, the women and relatives set out for the viewing garden under the guidance of the queen. The women in the harem rarely had the opportunity to walk out of the harem. Not to mention visiting rare beasts, even watching a few wild flowers and weeds was enough for them to talk about. Concubine Zhen and Concubine Yu were very happy, and Concubine Xu Xian's face was a little stinky.

It is not surprising to think about it. The wedding between King Cheng and the Xiongnu princess was held very smoothly. Although there was a small problem at the wedding banquet, the flaws did not cover up the merits, and the queen's status was even more stable. Originally, Concubine Xu Xian could still rely on her descendants to suppress the queen, but something happened to her son Yan Huaijing again. Even King Cheng's wedding was not attended. Her Xianfu Palace was almost deserted. The only thing that made her happy was that the Prime Minister's Mansion did not shake the marriage between Han Jingshu and Yan Huaijing.

She just had to wait patiently and she had a chance to turn the tables.

Only before that, she had to wait and see the queen show her power in front of her, which was not very good.

"Is Concubine Xian unwell?" The queen held the Ninth Princess and looked at Concubine Xu, who was slightly behind her with a smile.

Three of the first-rank four concubines have passed away one after another. Now only Concubine Xu Xian is left. She is only under the queen and is closest to the queen. Unlike Concubine Yufei Zhenfei and others, she is three or two steps behind.

But they could still hear the Queen's words clearly.

If the queen is the most angry person to be favored by the queen, it is Xu Xian. Concubine Zhen and Concubine Yu’s sons are not likely to be the crown prince in all aspects, so they are too lazy to compete for the lord position in the harem. Concubine Xu Xian is different. She has been pursuing the position of queen. Now that the queen has left Fengqi Palace, Concubine Xu Xian’s journey to the queen is probably even more difficult.

And the person who is most afraid of by the queen must be Concubine Xu Xian. The queen is caring about her on the surface, so who can say that she is not ridiculing her?

The two of them secretly wondered how Concubine Xu Xian would answer, but they heard Concubine Xu smiled and said, "Sister is too worried, and my sister is in good health, otherwise she would not have agreed to come to the viewing garden."

Concubine Yu and Concubine Zhen looked at each other. His Majesty invited Concubine Xu Xian to come over? The Queen was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable again.

Sure enough, the queen's eyes turned cold. Everyone followed her and didn't notice anything unusual, but the Ninth Princess she was holding clearly felt that her little hand hurt, and the queen was pinching it too tightly.

The queen's anger subsided very quickly. She gently let go of the hand holding the Ninth Princess and rubbed the Ninth Princess' head: "Go and play with her cousin's wife."

This time, the Ninth Princess no longer continued to be shy and went to find Yu Wan obediently.

Yu Wan held the little fat boy with Zi Su and Fuling, and took the ninth princess's hand over himself.

The Ninth Princess was stunned.

My cousin's palm has calluses, which is not as soft as my mother's, but my cousin's hands are more like my mother's hands.

The queen smiled and said, "I heard that the tenth princess was infected with the cold. I thought my sister would stay in Xianfu Palace to take care of her."

The Tenth Princess is the daughter of Concubine Xu Xian. She was born in the year of the Ninth Princess. It was only at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. The two of them were of the same age and had different destinies. The Ninth Princess grew up in the cold princess's palace, but the Tenth Princess was able to be raised by Concubine Xu Xian in a pampered manner.

The Ninth Princess remembered the Tenth Sister. She was always with the Xian Mother. She envied her own mother. But the nanny said she no longer had to envy her because she had a mother, who was the queen. The Queen would treat her well, and she would treat her well, just as well as the Xian Mother Mother.

The tenth princess's cold has long been cured, and Concubine Xu Xian was too lazy to pay her respects to the queen, so she always used it as an excuse.

Concubine Xu Xian said with a slight smile: "Thank you for the Queen's blessing, the Ten Princesses are much better."

The queen smiled and said to the envoy Cui beside her: "I remember that the envoy of Nanzhao sent two Tianshan snow lotus, one to the Tenth Princess, and the other to Zhaofei's palace."

"Yes." The envoy Cui responded.

Everyone was surprised. It was a good thing to give Princess Ten to help her with body. Why is it to reward Concubine Zhao? Although I know that Concubine Zhao is from the empress's camp, some things are not privately concerned, but they have to be treated equally in public. The queen praised her so blatantly, so there must be a reason to have to reward her.

"Concubine Zhao is pregnant." The queen said with a smile.

Everyone was shocked, and Concubine Xu's expression froze.

The queen was already convinced by the old age. She clearly understood that she could not sleep anymore, nor could she be pregnant anymore. Concubine Xu Xian did not accept her fate. She had always hoped to give the emperor another child, but unfortunately her luck made people feel bad, but Concubine Zhao had it.

Concubine Zhao was also lucky. The emperor's bald look made him see. Concubine Zhao was so scared that she lost her etiquette. She would never think of seeing the emperor again in her life, but she was diagnosed with a happy pulse in a few days.

Of course, the queen didn't know that Concubine Zhao was almost out of favor, and she was still sighing that Concubine Zhao really gave her a face.

At this age, the emperor suddenly felt that his sword was not old and he was very happy. He rewarded Concubine Zhao and the queen, praising Concubine Zhao for her merits in her pregnancy, and also praising the queen for her virtue in the central palace.

The queen couldn't say these words, but she had a vivid statement. After hearing the last sentence, Concubine Xu Xian's face turned green.

What a saying, "The Palace is virtuous," as if she has done something secretly in the past few years without joy in the harem!"

Your Majesty didn't think about it. If she really had the will torture, would she be the birth of the princess after Jing'er?!

Of course, before Yan Huaijing was born, she did have some means to her offspring, but that was all in the past. How could the emperor blame her for all her mistakes? Is it so difficult to admit that she can’t get pregnant when she is old?

Concubine Xu also knew that what she was in her heart was an angry and a bastard, and she could not speak out, otherwise she would cause death.

She sighed inwardly that the queen's methods were becoming more and more clever. She almost forced her out of her mind when she was not careful. Fortunately, she stopped her in time.

When the queen saw that Concubine Xu Xian was calm at a critical moment, she sneered and walked towards the ornamental garden with dignity and grand manner on the wrist of the Cui.

During the whole process, Yu Wan didn't say anything, but just held the Ninth Princess silently, while holding her eyes to the three little fat boys who were looking curiously. She heard the confrontation between the queen and Concubine Xu Xian, but this was not the time for her to interrupt.

Han Jingshu, who was walking side by side with her, also obediently kept silent. The woman finally chose to forgive Yan Huaijing. Yu Wan sincerely hoped that Yan Huaijing could see Han Jingshu's goodness, and since then she stopped thinking about her.

Deep in the forest, the emperor hunted the first prey in the venue - an adult stag. Everyone applauded and the emperor was very happy. He ordered the guard to take it down and stew the bucks, and dinner was used to entertain everyone.

Since the emperor succeeded, their hunting could officially begin. Yan Huaijing was not around, the third prince became the most eye-catching royal heir. After a while, he also hunted a stag, but it was a whole circle smaller than the emperor.

The ministers comforted the emperor and said that the father had no dog son. The emperor enjoyed it very much. He re-examined the third son, who was always shrouded in Yan Huaijing's halo. Although the third son was not as good as the second son, he was also a very outstanding child. He had ignored him for so many years.

"Can the third family enter the palace today?" the emperor asked Eunuch Wang next to him.

Eunuch Wang said justice: "The third prince's mother was not in good health, so she went to visit her."

The fact is that the third prince's concubine in the backyard was dissatisfied. The third prince suspected that it was done by his wife. The third prince's concubine was wronged and quarreled with him and ran back to her parents' home. The mother's family was afraid that it would be unpleasant, so she claimed that it was the third prince's mother's mother who was infected.

Eunuch Wang didn't say it because the emperor must not be what he wants to hear now.

The emperor said, "Send two ginseng plants to Mrs. Xu."

The third prince's concubine's surname is Xu.

"Yes." Eunuch Wang responded and immediately called the capable eunuch to ask him to go to the warehouse to select ginseng.

The third prince was like a god of arrows. After the stag, he hunted a wild sheep, a vulture, and three hares. He was very rewarding. The fourth prince was not as good as him, but he also hunted a pangolin, but the eldest prince and the King Cheng were empty-handed.

The two of them rode their horses and met as they walked.

There is a blue crow in the eyes of the eldest prince, and so is the King of Cheng.

King Cheng was frightened by the princess who had a bruised nose and swollen face. After several nightmares, the eldest prince didn't know why he didn't sleep well.

King Cheng was about to say hello to the emperor when he suddenly found a fat hare hidden behind the grass. It was a gray-haired rabbit. Its color was inconspicuous and even when he got so close, he discovered it.

Soon, the eldest prince also discovered it.

The two looked at the hare at the same time, and then at each other.

King Cheng whispered: "Why don't you come, brother?"

The eldest prince said, "It was the fifth brother who discovered it first, it should be the fifth brother."

King Cheng said: "No, no, no, it's the emperor's brother."

The two of them pushed me a lot, and finally the eldest prince couldn't bear it anymore and glared at him with an angry eyes: "Don't you know if I can't shoot me? Do you have to see that I'm ugly!"

King Cheng: "…"

"Then...then I'll shoot." King Cheng pulled the arrow awkwardly.

The eldest prince glared at him with a chill, and tried to shoot one!!!

King Cheng: "…"

...

"Who hasn't hunted yet?" The emperor turned over and got off the horse and rested in a nearby wooden house.

There are guards in the forest, and whoever hunts will report the news as soon as possible.

Eunuch Wang smiled and said, "Apart from the eldest prince and King Cheng, they are Young Master Yan."

When the emperor thought of the thin horse Yan Jiuchao chose, he frowned. After choosing such a horse, can he catch up with prey? The chickens ran faster than him!

Yan Jiuchao rode on the skinny horse, holding the bow and arrow in one hand and the reins in the other, walking aimlessly in the forest.

Suddenly, an adult roe deer appeared next to a locust tree not far away. The roe deer lowered his head and ate the grass, but did not notice that someone was approaching.

Yan Jiuchao gently pulled out his bow and arrow to aim at it, but as the arrow was about to leave the string, a sound of breaking through the air came from a distance, and an arrow penetrated through the roe deer accurately.

"Ha ha!"

Helianqi came over arrogantly.

He stopped in front of Yan Jiuchao and went to pick up the prey he shot. He looked at Yan Jiuchao and curled his lips disdainfully: "Oh, it turns out that Young Master Yan is here too. I thought that the prey was unparalleled. Don't blame me. If you want to blame, you blame your actions too slowly."

Yan Jiuchao ignored him, tightened the reins and turned around and left.

Helian Qi was like a maggot on the bones. He followed him wherever Yan Jiuchao went. He would grab whatever Yan Jiuchao planned to shoot. He would grab whatever Yan Jiuchao was going to.

Helian Qi rode his horse and walked side by side with Yan Jiuchao: "Young Master Yan, you are not smart!"

"Helping!" Yan Jiuchao accelerated his pace.

Helianqi said arrogantly: "I advise you not to go forward, it is dangerous ahead."

Yan Jiuchao said lightly: "If you are afraid, don't follow me."

Helianqi smiled playfully: "What? I deliberately led me over... I set up an ambush inside to kill this general?"

Yan Jiuchao looked at him meaningfully: "Are you scared?"

"Hahaha!" Helian Qi smiled arrogantly, "Although this is the territory of your Great Zhou, you, a yellow-haired boy, are also qualified to make this general afraid?"

Helianqi knew that this kid was using provocation to him, and he didn't care, because he also wanted to get rid of him. It would be reasonable to have something happening around this place. Even if someone suspected him, it would be fine. As long as he did it clean enough, people would not be able to seize the evidence.

There are indeed dozens of beasts deep in the hunting ground. No one has hunted them in recent years. If nothing unexpected happens, they should still be alive. Before entering the hunting ground, the guards reminded them not to go deeper.

Yan Jiu walked around as if no one was around.
